But it doesn't always change so much that far out. Like you say every single weather website can only try to accurately forecast a few days out at best, but other weather websites, for the UK & Malta at least, are still not as accurate as WeatherOnline even if you just take the first few days of the forecast. That is why many European posters use WeatherOnline forecasts as they are more accurate here.

I don't see why it so hard for some people to see how certain weather sites are more accurate for one region over another? WO might be great for Europe (don't know why that is), but is not accurate here. On the otherhand, TWC is usually satisfactory for us. Again not sure why they aren't good for Europe (like Accuweather). Truth is, I stopped following accuweather's forecasts even for Chicagoland.... It's not all that "accurate" lol

In which station mate? Southend now appears with 23ºC in Weatheronline.

But 80ºF if 26.6ºC so it still has a way to reach them.

Much closer to Weatheronline than to weather.com, as expected.
